5. Introduction
Nanotechnology is enabling technology that deals with nano-meter
sized objects.
Nanoscale refers size dimensions between approximately 1 and 100
nm (or more appropriately, 0.2 and 100 nm) at this scale the
properties of materials differ with respect to their
• physical
• chemical
• biological properties from a larger scale.
Any form of a material that has one or more dimensions in the
nanoscale is known as Nanomaterial.

6. Introduction
Nanoparticles have unique biological properties like small size, large
surface area-to-volume ratio which allows them to
• Bind
• Absorb
• Carry compounds such as small-molecule drugs, DNA, RNA, proteins
and probes with high efficiency.
Understanding of biological processes on the nanoscale level is a
strong driving force behind development of nanotechnology.

8. Innovations and industrial applications

9. Biomedical applications
• Nanoparticles are used for disease diagnosis, drug delivery, and
prevention of other infections.
• Liposomes are coated with polyoxyethylene which prevents
opsonization of liposomes and their uptake by macrophages.

10. Biomedical applications
• Biosensors is a measurement system for the detection of the analyte
that combines a biological component with a physiochemical
detector, and a nanobiosensor on the nanoscale size.
• They are useful for early diagnosis of cancer.

11. Nanotechnological applications in biofuels
Nanomaterials have promising application in biofuel production due
to their small size, large surface area-to-volume ratio, and good
catalytic properties which are responsible for
Enhancing the production of various types of biofuel such as
 Biodiesel
 Bioethanol

12. Nanotechnological applications in biofuels

13. Nanotechnology in the Oil Industry
Nanotechnology is striving to help the oil industry increase oil
recovery by improving:
• Chemicals used in recovery of oil
• Drilling Materials

15. Nano Coatings
• Anti-wear for drilling parts
• Anti-corrosion for pipelines and other exposed long term structures
• Lubricants and drilling mud
• Thermal coatings to lower deformation.

16. Reservoir Surveillance
• Purpose To increase knowledge about oil wells
• This would also allow easier placement of Enhanced
Oil Recovery (EOR) chemicals such as emulsifier and
foamer.

17. Nanotechnology in Medicine
Diagnostic Application
• Imaging
• Quantum dots
• Microscopic Sampling
• Detection of Airways
Therapeutic Application
• Delivering medication to the
exact location
• Killing of bacteria, viruses &
cancer cells
• Repair of damaged tissue
• Oxygen transport

18. Diagnostic Application
Microscopic machine in
Bloodstream
Single inhaled
nanorobot in the lungs

19. Therapeutic Application
Mechanical drilling of small
tumor mass by nanorobot.

20. Nanotechnology in the Textile Industry
• Nanotechnology is applied in textile industry due to the increased
durability of fabrics, comfortness, hygienic properties and reduced
production cost.
• The use of nanotechnology allows textiles to become multi-functional
and produce fabrics with special functions, including;
Antibacterial
Ultraviolet protection
Easy clean
Water and stain repellent
Antiodor

21. Nanotechnology in the Textile Industry
Silver nanoparticles are used in
socks and sports clothing because
of their ability to kill bacteria and
inhibit unwanted odors

22. Nanotechnology in Agriculture
• The significant interests of using nanotechnology in agriculture
includes specific applications like
• Nanofertilizers
• Nanopesticides
• Enhanced productivity without decontamination e.g. soil, water
• Protection against several insect pests

23. Nanotechnology in Agriculture
• Nanofertilizers
• Nanofertilizers are nanomaterial
which are either nutrients or
acting as carriers/additives by
composting with minerals.

24. Nanofertilizers effects on plants

25. Nano Fertilizers VS Conventional Fertilizers

26. Conclusion
• Nanotechnology is widely used in various fields such
as medical, agricultural, industrial due to the specific
attributes of nanomaterials.
• Nowadays, nanotechnology is providing new products
in all Industrial sectors.
